I am going to the desert for a few days with some friends. I’m taking my cell phone but it will be off. I’ll be back Saturday late and I’ll return y’alls calls then.
Not that y’all really call me that often… but one time I went to Mexico for a week without telling my family [...]

27Mar08What I’m doing
04Feb08I posted recently about how my blog seems to tend towards the negative. This is one of the reasons why my parents are continually worried about my happiness, despite the fact that I think I’m as happy or happier than I’ve ever been. I’ve also talked with my mom about how she doesn’t really get [...]
Larnin’
30Aug07I learned from Gramma…
Reading the paper is wonderful. It’s a big world, and what is better than talking politics in the morning with people you love?
I learned from my Mom…
Veganism is not a magic bullet. There are hard tradeoffs between being a steward of the environment, of our bodies, of our society, and [...]
Sixth figure
24Aug07Kate’s and my dance video we recorded over Christmas recently topped 100,000 views. 278 people say it’s one of the favorite videos. Go figure.
It’s also nice to see that the video Camille and I made a couple weeks ago has been rated three times, and so far has a perfect 5-star rating. [...]
Vegan Test Kitchen: Pancakes
21Aug07I’m back home in Ithaca, NY spending some quality time with my family. First order of business: create the perfect vegan pancake!
We made 20 different recipes of pancake, varying basic proportions, auditioning potential “secret” ingredients, and having a gay old time. Here are our findings, with the final recipe at the bottom. [...]
Daudz baltu dieniņu
28Jul07Today is my little sister’s birthday, and we’re celebrating here in Boulder, Colorado with my brother and sister in law. Dad mailed out a kliņģeris, the eggy saffron-flavored traditional Latvian birthday cake.
We sang Daudz baltu dieninu:
Daudz baltu dieniņu Laimiņa lemi,
Diženi, raženi dzīvojoti!
Diženi, raženi dzīvojoti!
Daudz baltu dieniņu Laimiņa, lemi,
Diženi, raženi strÄdÄjoti!
Diženi, raženi strÄdÄjoti!
Daudz baltu dieniņu [...]
Academic Dishonesty
02Jul07I just read a shocking blog post on the Science Matters blog about shocking study done in 1995, showing that in despite the fact that 46% of the 114 applicants for 20 Swedish medical post-doc positions, only four women won positions, compared to 16 men. From the blog:
“Being female was a major liability: a [...]
Spring Break
22Mar07I don’t want to set up a vacation email auto-responder thing so I’ll just mention it here: I’m going to be in Switzerland from now until the 2nd. I probably won’t respond to email.
HOWEVER,
If you send me an email soonish, and you include your mailing address, I’ll send you a postcard.
I see Kate in [...]
Smorgasbord
05Feb07Dinner Co-op is buzzing along. Kensy made some awesome chili on Thursday. Camille and I are going to cook lasagna tomorrow night. We’re getting 10-12 people showing up each night, which is a good number. There are a couple issues that are hard to navigate… one is that I want the [...]
Photo Update
27Jan07My computer is not importing photos lately, so I always end up saving them up and then posting them all at once from school. And then I have to write a big, rambly blog entry. But whatever.
Last week it was Kaya’s birthday and I made Falafel for her birthday dinner. Everything from [...]
